Diagnosis.
The last three species are the largest Bornean members of the genus and have
similar facies with a pale medial band to the forewing and a strong paleedged
dark spot at the hindwing tornus. The hindwing also has a paler medial band,
yellow in fulvotaenia
and
white in the next two species. The postmedial in the next species is more
sinuous posterior to the angle and strongly delineated with white anterior to
it.

taken at 1930m on G. Kinabalu.
